    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): During this class, we took the learners to the park since Unite Oregon was having a meeting in their space. It was great getting to go outside on such a nice day, but it did get pretty cold near the end. As for the lesson, we sent the class time playing a game with the learners. The game was like wheel of fortune where the instructors created sentences that were blank and the learners guessed the letters to fill in the blank. After giving a letter, they were given a chance to guess what the sentence or phrase is and it went around in circles until the blank was solved. After the sentence/phrase was solved, the learners were asked to come up with an accompanying question or sentence and wrote it down in their notebooks. Overall, the learners had a fun time and really enjoyed the game.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was Kalin’s dress rehearsal and also (possibly) my last class with some of the learners, so a pretty eventful class! On top of that we had a computer malfunction but Kalin managed to recover from it without a disruption to the lesson. Very impressive, especially for a dress rehearsal (she was also very graceful about me interrupting to exchange contact information with learners who wanted to stay in touch – thank you!) The lesson was about rock climbing. Kalin brought in some of her own equipment, which was very cool and engaging for the learners. We did some dictation with photos and then a short question and answer about our opinions about rock climbing. The learners had a lot to say!

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We did a word search and dictation with facts about the Declaration of Independence. The dictation was a really great level for this group – challenging but achievable, and it seemed like that was real self esteem boost for the learners.

    Berries was a fitting summer lesson! It was good that the learners got opposite words incorrect in spelling – this let them look at each others sheets for corrections.
    Use of new word sheets at the end was helpful, interesting, and very similar to the alphabet sheets. Some

    we learned today that self practice mitigates many unanticipated obstacles.
    we effectively organised seating arrangements that was advantageous to the students learning. materials were rather dull, with more practice could be better, but we adapted our technique well to make our class interesting and engaging.
